With 13 persons, including two policemen, already murdered since the start of the year, and speculation that 2007 could see a bloody election, church leaders yesterday prayed with hundreds of Jamaicans for national peace and unity.
The country's top church leaders, including Bishop Herro Blair and Dr. Al Miller, joined forces with Bishop Delford Davis of Power of Faith Ministries, in calling for "healing of the family and the nation" during an all-day national prayer vigil at the National Arena.
"Lord we beg you to take this land in your hands and guide us, dear God," pleaded an old woman, standing with her hands outstretched and tears flowing down her cheeks. She was just one of hundreds of persons attending the vigil.
